It has to be said that Su Xuening really understands Xuan Yuan Yu. Even her guesses are pretty accurate.
Speaking of being poisoned, Bai Shi also thought of that woman, Long Jiaojiao.
Zhan'er was also poisoned by the Gu before, and that witch Long Jiaojiao had only recently left Dong Chu. It's possible that she was the one who caused this trouble.
Dao Yi knew better than anyone else about Xuan Yuanzhan's previous affliction by the Gu poison.
Now, after Su Xuening's reminder, Dao Yi immediately thought of Long Jiaojiao: "You know what, it's actually possible!"
Bai frowned and looked at Dao Yi and Pei Luo: "Uncle-Master, Physician Luo, can you two remove the Gu?"
Dao Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled wryly: "I only have a superficial understanding of this Gu technique, and I don't yet know what kind of Gu the Emperor has been afflicted with. I may not be able to cure it."
He does know some Gu techniques, but he hasn't studied them in depth.
He could probably try to undo simple poison spells, but if they were too complex, he probably wouldn't be able to.
Take the Love Flower Gu that Zhan'er was afflicted with before, for example. It was very complicated. He could only help to restrain it to some extent, but he was powerless to remove the Gu.
“I don’t know how to cure Gu.” Pei Luo shook his head. “My junior brother does know Gu, but he’s too far away to help me right now.”
He only came into contact with Gu techniques after being poisoned by them, and he knew nothing about Gu techniques.
Youyi has been studying Gu poison for many years; he might be able to cure the emperor's Gu poison, but he's not in the capital right now.
Speaking of this, Su Xuening also regretted letting her martial uncle accompany Yun An to her father's hometown.
They've been gone for several days now, and they should be almost there. Even if we write to them now to ask them to come back, it will take several days for the letter to get there.
Bai knew that Su Yun'an and You Yi had important matters to attend to, and she didn't want to disturb them before things were cleared up.
"How about this, please ask Master and Uncle to help us go to the palace to examine the Emperor and see if he has been bewitched?"
It's not yet confirmed whether I've been poisoned by a curse, so there's no way to think about treatment.
Pei Luo glanced at Dao Yi indifferently.
He doesn't understand Gu magic. Even if he goes along, he'll just be there for the fun of it and to eliminate possibilities.
Dao Yi had no objection. Although he might not be able to remove the curse, he could still check whether someone was infected with it.
Moreover, the Emperor has always treated Bai Ya Tou and Zhan Er quite well, so it's only right that they go to the palace to see each other.
Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Madam Bai immediately said, "I am currently under house arrest and cannot leave the Holy Prince's residence at will. How about this, I will have Ye Shui and Ye Bing take you into the palace. Although there are many Imperial Guards in Chengqian Palace now, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get in with the martial arts skills of my uncle and Doctor Luo. The Emperor also knows Ye Shui and Ye Bing, and when he sees them, he will believe what you say."
Dao nodded, then frowned and asked, "So why exactly did he confine you?"
He's confined her to her quarters, yet this girl still misses him so much!
Bai smiled bitterly: "Perhaps it's to protect me. Now that his health is failing and Zhan'er is not in the capital, he sent the Imperial Guards to guard the Holy King's Mansion. Besides preventing me from leaving, it's also to prevent those with ulterior motives from freely entering and leaving the Holy King's Mansion."
He was afraid that Xuan Yuanzhi and Xuan Yuanyu, or even Su Huiyan and Consort Liang, would harm her, so in addition to confining Su Huiyan and Consort Liang, he also confined her to her quarters.
In this way, any disputes outside will temporarily have nothing to do with the Holy King's Mansion.
Even if Xuan Yuanzhi and Xuan Yuanyu wanted to target the Holy King's Mansion, they had to consider Xuan Yuanpeng's imperial decree of confinement.
Dao Yi was quite satisfied with this reason.
At this point, they had no objection to going to check on Xuanyuan Peng's condition.
Bai immediately summoned Ye Shui and Ye Bing, and had them take Dao Yi and Pei Luo into the palace.
The four of them didn't take the proper route; instead, they secretly sneaked into the palace.
Looking at Ye Shui and Ye Bing leading the way, Pei Luo secretly sighed that it was fortunate to have these two as guides.
Otherwise, with him being so unfamiliar with the palace, and Lu Shao being so directionally challenged... well, this palace is so huge, several times larger than the Holy King's Mansion. They might wander around all night, and who knows if they'll ever find the Emperor's palace.
Ye Shui and Ye Bing were indeed familiar with the place, and in no time, they led the two into Chengqian Palace.
Just as Bai said, even though there were many Imperial Guards in Chengqian Palace, the four of them still entered Chengqian Palace with ease.
The four entered the main hall from the rooftop. Because they did not deliberately conceal their auras, Xuanyuan Peng on the dragon bed noticed them as soon as they entered the main hall and shouted, "Who's there!"
"What?" Zong Jiu, who was dozing off while keeping watch in the outer hall, was startled awake by Xuan Yuanpeng's voice and rushed into the inner hall.
When Zong Jiu saw the four people who suddenly appeared, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. Before he could even see them clearly, he immediately rushed to the bedside, stretched out his arms to protect Xuan Yuanpeng, and angrily shouted at Pei Luo and the others, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Chengqian Palace?"
Zong Jiu was about to call for help when he spoke.
Ye Shui hurriedly said, "Ninth Eunuch, it's us."
Ye Shui quickly stepped out of the darkness, allowing Xuan Yuanpeng and Zong Jiu to see his face clearly.
Ye Bing also quickly stepped forward.
As expected, both Xuanyuan Peng and Zong Jiu knew Ye Shui and Ye Bing.
"It's you guys!" Seeing Ye Shui and Ye Bing, Zong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and finally lowered his outstretched arm.
He naturally recognized Ye Shuiye and Ye Bing; they were two of the Empress Dowager's bodyguards.
Seeing the two men's wary attitude, Xuan Yuanpeng instantly relaxed.
Ye Shui and Ye Bing stepped forward and knelt down: "Your subordinates pay their respects to Your Majesty."
"Cough cough... Did Ya'er send you?" Xuan Yuanpeng asked, panting heavily.
Zong Jiu quickly stepped forward and placed a large cushion behind him so that he could lean on it.
"Yes." Ye Shui quickly replied, "The Empress Dowager was worried about the Emperor's condition, so she invited Physician Luo from Hundred Flowers Valley and Master Daoyi from White Dragon Temple to treat the Emperor."
The two names Ye Shui mentioned stunned both Xuan Yuanpeng and Zong Jiu.
The Divine Physician Luo of Hundred Flowers Valley?
Did they mention Doctor Luo during the day?
They had naturally heard of Master Daoyi of Bailong Temple, but did he also know how to cure diseases?
Dao Yi then performed a Buddhist salute to Xuan Yuanpeng: "Amitabha, this humble monk greets Your Majesty."
Although Pei Luo did not bow, he still nodded to Xuan Yuanpeng.
Xuanyuan Peng naturally wouldn't blame them for their politeness, but he asked somewhat excitedly, "Is it the Hundred Flowers Valley in Zhongzhou?"
Pei Luo frowned. He hadn't wanted to reveal his identity, but now that it was, he could only nod and say, "Yes, Pei Luo of the Hundred Flowers Valley in Zhongzhou greets Your Majesty."
Having confirmed Pei Luo's identity, Xuan Yuanpeng wasn't overjoyed that his illness had hope, but rather he saw Ya'er's sincerity towards him: "Ya'er is so thoughtful. To be able to invite two people to treat me, she must have gone to a lot of trouble!"
